*** Tidbit  1   Humor Time

Email Goes Astray 

Mr. Arnold, a businessman from Tulsa, Oklahoma, went on a business trip to Amarillo, Texas. He immediately sent an e-mail back home to his wife, Paula.  Unfortunately, he forgot his wife’s exact e-mail address and the e-mail ended up going to a Mrs. P. Arnold in Rapid City, South Dakota, the wife of a preacher who had just died. The preacher’s wife, Penny, took one look at the e-mail and promptly fainted.

When she was finally revived by her daughter, Penny hysterically pointed to the message, which read, ‘Arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here.’

The Ugly Baby

A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The bus driver said: “That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen.” In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus.

The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.

 “The bus driver insulted me,” she fumed.

 The man sympathized and said: “Why, he’s a public servant and shouldn’t say things to insult passengers.”

  “You’re right,” she said. “I think I’ll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind.”

  “That’s a good idea,” the man said. “Here, let me hold your monkey.”

Things My Mother Taught Me

  • My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM.
    “Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!”
  • My mother taught me about STAMINA.
    “You’ll sit there until all that spinach is gone.”
  • My mother taught me about WEATHER.
    “This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it.”
  • My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY.”
    If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times. Don’t exaggerate!”

*** Tidbit  2   Overcomer

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. -Romans 8:37

An overcomer is someone who succeeds in dealing with or gaining control of some problem, weakness, opposition, difficulty, etc. In most cases, we have to choose to be overcomers (I choose to think positive. I choose to exercise today. I choose to pray every day.)  Sometimes we have gifts in certain areas that allow us to be overcomers with minimal effort. Sometimes we have to really put forth an effort, for example, training to run a marathon or working to earn a degree. Being an overcomer is not all about winning.  It’s about putting forth your best effort. If you’re a born- again believer, God wants you to overcome. He’s your biggest cheerleader.

Here are some are some tips that can help you be an overcomer in every situation.

  • Have confidence in yourself and God, the Creator.
  • Renew your mind with the Word of God.
  • Have a support system.
  • Stick with it. Don’t quit unless God tells you to quit.
  • Don’t dwell on negative thoughts or past failures.
  • Remember that nothing is impossible with God

*** Tidbit  3    Celebrate National Salad Month

Tomorrow begins the month of May. May is National Salad month.  It’s the perfect time to enjoy a lighter meal with the warmer weather approaching. Eating a salad almost every day could be one of the healthiest eating habits you can adopt. It can be a nutrition powerhouse as long as you don’t douse it with salad dressing, meat, croutons, etc. (remember – moderation).

Experts tell us over and over again, the importance of including fruits and vegetables in our diet. How many of us actually strive to be overcomers in that area? Need more convincing? Okay. Salads are good for you because:

  • They provide fiber, which may help lower cholesterol levels and prevent constipation.
  • They provide much needed vitamins and minerals.
  • They can help you get enough fruits and vegetables.
  • When you eat most veggies and fruits raw, you can get the most benefits. Some people cook the nutrients out of their fruits and veggies. All that’s being consumed is dead food.

You don’t have to eat the traditional side salad or green salad. Use your imagination. Be sure to add lots of color and texture. Instead of using only iceberg, try mixing in darker greens like kale, chard, spinach, and red leaf lettuce. The possibilities are endless: cucumbers, red onions, nuts, seeds, protein, berries, etc.  Include them in your 2022 DoBetter Challenge. I hope you’re still trying to do better. Set a goal to get them in.  Enjoy and have fun!

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?  If not, what are you waiting on? In crazy times like these, we need a Savior. If you have already accepted Him, He wants you to get to know Him even better.
